Genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the CONSTANS-like gene family of <i>Juglans mandshurica</i> Maxim.

ABSTRACT: The zinc-finger proteins encoded by the CONSTANS-like (COLs) gene family in Juglans mandshurica Maxim. play a significant role in regulating photoperiod-dependent flowering time, as well as in various processes such as growth and development. In this study, 15 members of the CONSTANS-like gene family were identified based on the genomic data of Juglans mandshurica. All of these proteins possess an N-terminal zinc-finger B-box domain and a C-terminal CCT domain. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the JmCOLs proteins can be divided into three subgroups, with gene structures and motif compositions varying among these subgroups. Chromosomal analysis reveals that the 15 JmCOLs genes are distributed across nine chromosomes. The promoters of genes in this family cont
